Welcome to PARJE

working for and with youth on entrepreneurship in Burundi

PARJE works for Youth empowerment via entrepreneurship by structuring young entrepreneurs’ hubs in Burundi. Its strategic goal is to facilitate mutual support and various supports from partners to young start-up in entrepreneurship. It is a burundian entrepreneurs platform/Network that includes SMEs created and managed by young people

OUR FOCUS

We have focus on Youth because In Burundi young people under 35 years old represent more than 65% of the population. This is the category of active people, however they suffer from unemployment. Every year the universities, secondary and technical schools graduate over 5000 students of which only 13.1% are likely to be employed. We extended our focus to women after realizing that among 65% of young, more than 56% are young women. Why we have these free programs:
